Have you ever left a doctor’s appointment feeling like something's off, even when told, “everything looks fine”?That's exactly where my guest, Dr. Amie Hornaman, started. At 22, despite eating clean and working out twice daily, she gained 40 pounds in three months. After seeing six doctors, including two endocrinologists, she was still told she was normal. But no one had properly tested her THYROID. So, we went deep into the stuff most doctors overlook:Why your thyroid impacts progesterone, which could explain brutal PMSThe full marker panel you need, including a test to see if your thyroid hormone is even making it into your cells Insights on postpartum, fertility, and what nobody tells you before you try to conceive. Dr. Amie gets personal about why getting your thyroid right before pregnancy is crucialThere are cycle symptoms that can indicate thyroid dysfunction before you ever get a diagnosis. A lot of women spend years cycling through diagnoses, being told their labs are normal, when nobody has run the right tests yet. Normal isn't the goal. Optimal is.If you've ever felt “something is off” despite normal test results, this episode is the one you send to your doctor.RESOURCES:The Thyroid Fix BookDr. Amie’s FB GroupBreakfast GuideNourish Tracker - Discount code: HAPPILYHORMONALBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meGrab your Happily Hormonal Quick Start GuideSend us a text with episode feedback or ideas!
